The vote just went down...Thomas called for a roll call, the Speaker Pro Tem asked everyone wanting a roll call to rise. Without even looking up (reading from his script) he says there are not enough members requesting a roll call.So Thomas demand a quorum count. Again, without even looking up, and reading from the script, the Speaker Pro Tem says there is indeed a quorum. The bill passes on a voice vote.

Wow, Brian.... 4,000 comments. Have you looked at them? Are they supporting or condemning?

Most of the replies were positive. Only a couple of "I'm gonna vote for the other guy" replies.

Big kudos to Massie for his efforts here. He has my support, for what it's worth.
He summed it up perfectly: biggest spending bill in history and not a single recorded vote… And what about the $11 billion I read was going to some African development funds?
